First Half: Hedy Lamarr was one of the most beautiful actresses of the
1930s and 40s, but many are unaware of her inventions that were the basis
for cell phone and Bluetooth technology. Lamarr expert and researcher Bill
Birnes joins Ian Punnett to discuss the two Lamarrs - the glamour icon
whose ravishing visage was the inspiration for Snow White, and a
technological trailblazer who perfected a secure radio guidance system for
Allied torpedoes during WWII.
